Which of the following fractions will have the greatest number of decimal places in its decimal expansion?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: (\frac{7}{128})
Step 1: (128=2^7), so (\frac{7}{128}) has (7) decimal places. Step 2: (625=5^4), (40=2^3\cdot 5), and (160=2^5\cdot 5), giving (4), (3), and (5) places. Step 3: For comparison, factorise the denominators quickly.
